Position Overview & Specifications

We’re Dojo

Since launching Dojo in 2019 to address business owners’ pain points across the UK, we’ve seen incredible growth as a scaling fintech, welcoming over 60,000 new customers and growing the Dojo team to 900+ people across five locations. In that time, we’ve also introduced Dojo Virtual Queues & Bookings and the Dojo restaurant finder app, formerly known as WalkUp and loved by 600 restaurants and 600,000 diners across the UK.

Today, we work towards our mission to empower businesses to thrive in the Experience Economy by creating the tools and technology that turn transactions into meaningful relationships. For our business customers, that means fast funding, the fastest payments, smart integrations, and efficient virtual queues & bookings - all with instant insight across the board. For over 600,000 diners across the UK, that means getting seated at their favourite restaurants in just a couple of taps on the Dojo app. Whether it’s for busy business owners or hungry diners, every Dojo product is built to address real customer pain points by our dedicated teams in London, Bristol, Hull and Belfast.

The Role

You’ll join our newly established Strategic Finance/FP&A team which is a high performing, specialised group working directly with the Exec team and Founders. As we enter into our next phase of rapid growth and prepare for imminent international and product expansion, it is more crucial than ever for us to ensure we scale in a commercially sustainable way.

As the Head of FP&A, you will report to the Director of Strategic Finance with a high level of autonomy and responsibility, and exposure to our executive and senior leadership teams and influencing decisions.

This is a 16 month FTC covering maternity leave, and as we work in a highly collaborative way, you’ll make the biggest impact by being predominantly based in our London office (Paddington).

Lead the FP&A function, including forecasting, budgeting and financial analysis
Provide financial analysis and modelling to support business decisions and strategic initiatives
Translate the company's strategy into financial targets by developing a deep understanding of the business model.
Own the multi-year financial model and use this model to support the planning and forecasting processes across the company.
Partner with internal stakeholders (e.g. Exec, Tribe VPs, Product Managers, and Finance teams) to gain insight and inputs / drivers for scenario planning
Work on special ad hoc projects to support senior management
Manage and support the development of a newly formed and growing FP&A team

What you will bring ...

Accountancy qualification with solid experience leading an FP&A function
Highly proficient in financial modelling
Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills; high degree of accuracy with attention to detail
Excellent communication and presentation skills, you’ll adapt and tailor to a range of audiences at all levels
Experience implementing forecasting and reporting systems would be highly desirable
Strong leadership and coaching skills to drive the performance of your team
A positive mindset with a hunger to understand how the business works
You’ll thrive in our fast paced and at times ambiguous environment, enjoying real autonomy as you create collaborative partnerships between finance and other teams across Dojo
